Dear Stephen,
I am currently treating some of the co-infections and I was wondering if there is something I can take in the same time for a burning sensation that I get on my face. It lasts a few seconds, but sometimes it is more intense than others and more frequent. It calms down strangely about 45 minutes after I eat. When I sleep I have to put the sheet over my head if I want it to calm down and have any chance of falling asleep. I just hope it will calm down as I treat lyme and co-infections, but if there is something I can do in the meantime it would be great, because I have to eat almost every hour to manage the pain and I hardly sleep. Would pasque flower help, and if so, is it toxic? Thank you very much.

Stephen’s response:
Pasque flower tincture is what I would begin with. 10 drops every hour or so. Pasque flower is not toxic. The worst that can happen if you overdose is vomiting, usually, nausea occurs first and that is usually enough to get someone to stop taking it. I have used pasque flower at this dose, 10-15 drops per hour, throughout the day for over 20 years without problems. It is a fine herb. The main thing is to not take a whole lot of it at once, hence the 10 drop dosage recommendation. Like a lot of herbs, there are some common overblown warnings for pasque flower, but I just haven’t seen any evidence of them being true.

Dear Stephen,
The burning sensation is still there and it’s going to be 11 months with it soon. The pasque flower tincture didn’t help. I tried acupuncture also in the meantime, but that didn’t help either.
The relation between it calming down and eating proved to be inexistent, because it lasts 45 minutes to one hour either way. The sheet thing doesn’t work anymore or it just felt like working initially because the sensation wasn’t so intense. Now I have to wake up and seat on a chair until it calms down.
The thing is that it wakes me up at night at least 2 times, there is another intense episode when I wake up and from then on there can be one every 3 hours, more and more intense as I advance in the day and it gets into evening. The sensation is accompanied by vision problems and weak coordination of the opposite leg.
Could this be a neuropathy? I saw your answer regarding this here https://buhnerhealinglyme.com/lyme/neuropathy/ and I was wondering if I can try some of these and in what dosage?
Thank you.

Did you ever resolve this? Or anyone?
Is this ACA,late stage Lyme?
